On Thursday at The Game Awards in Los Angeles, Capcom and Microsoft announced that the first Devil May Cry 5 demo will be exclusively available on the Xbox One, and that starts on December 7. Here is a look at the extended trailer packed with gameplay footage:

Xbox One owners will take on the role of Nero on the streets of Red Grace City. He'll face off with a number of adversaries including the Mighty Goliath. A number of the gun and melee attacks will be at your disposal during the gameplay preview.

The full game releases on March 8, so fans of the series will need to get their feel of the game with 90 days still remaining before the official launch. The first details of the character known as V were revealed. V has the ability to summon three demons to aid him in battle.

Shadow – a swift, four-legged panther-like creature with savage agility that sees him change his shape into sharp blades and needles for perfectly executed close-range attacks

Griffon – a bird-like demon possessing aerial combat skills which allows him to carry V across Red Grave City and shoot lightning bolts at enemies from up above

Nightmare – the most powerful of V’s demons. Nightmare’s gigantic size sees him destroy enemies with just his basic attack, and he can also fire beams of light to destroy any approaching foes.

DMC 5 will also feature the return of the Bloody Palace Mode. It will be available in the form of free DLC in April 2019. For those who are unaware, it's an elimination mode where players battle hordes of approaching enemies with a boss at the end of every stage.

There's also another layer to the online experience called the Cameo System. When online, other linked players can make special guest appearances in your journey in co-op style or just as a character battling in a non-connected skirmish. Player performances can be rated by the community.

Ultimately, DMC 5 will be available for the PS4, PC and Xbox One, but owners of the latter console will get the first crack.
